Nanovna-F is here


 

Oh...... my....... GOODNESS!!!

I love Nanovna original. I have three of them. But Nanovna-F just arrived and it is simply fantastic. It is heavy, thick, completely encased in aluminum and it has a huge, gorgeous 4.3 inch screen that I can see easily without reading glasses. It feels like comparing an S Class Benz to a Prius. Both are fantastic vehicles but...... well..... who would take the Prius.

Easily a 50 dB dynamic range at 1 GHz. Comparison tests to come but I can already tell it is at least the equal of the little brother.

Did I mention the screen? Just wonderful and I got it for $116.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago, PC software support is sketchy at the moment but will improve. I love it.

But why do you have more than one NanoVNA?? Am I missing out on something?? (I understand getting a -F in addition to the original)...

Warren, where did you purchase your NanoVNA-F?
Dave


 

I would be interested in finding that out also.

Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ

Where did I purchase? eBay and it took about 4 weeks to arrive.

Why three, now 4, vnas? I wanted one of each of the identified versions to test whether one was better. Whether shields made a difference in performance.

Those tests are done and now I am paring down to two...... one mounted in my lab and one for my toolbox for the field.

Hello Warren,

Could you be a little more specific about the vendor on ebay? It would be a
shame to waste money on a dud or substandard product

Cheers,

Tryg

Per the AM Forum site this is the pointer they provided. Not sure if this is the site Warren used.
